The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, says Nigeria cannot afford to join countries in legalizing cannabis.
A statement issued by NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said the call for the legalization of cannabis sativa cannot succeed in Nigeria because the proliferation of illicit drugs often leads to crime, chaos and conflict.
The statement noted that legalizing cannabis would not augur well for Nigeria, judging from experiences in other climes.
It, however, added that Nigeria could not afford to toy with the grim reality of the danger of legalizing cannabis when the needed infrastructure to monitor and control the use of the drug was still far from being in place
